Well done girls!

New data released by the European Parliament shows that 22% of people in Malta are smokers.
Raising awareness on World No Tobacco Day, the European Parliament emphasised how over 700,000 deaths every year are caused by tobacco.
Meanwhile, 24% of adults smoke, with nearly 30% of 15 to 24 year olds also taking up smoking. Most smokers begin before they turn 18.
‘Would you let the last 14 years of your life go up in smoke’, the EP asked. ‘That’s the average cost for half of all smokers – and it’s entirely preventable.’
It should be noted that this data doesn’t include use of other tobacco products such as electronic cigarettes and snuff.
Are you a smoker?

PN MP Eve Borg Bonello has made an appeal for Manoel Island to be reclaimed as a public green space, following a widely supported petition that gathered over 29,000 signatures.
In a video message, she described the island as “our last chance” to create meaningful open space in an area increasingly choked by construction and congestion.
Borg Bonello criticised the government’s spending priorities, arguing that funding should be redirected from wasteful deals and PR efforts towards genuine community investment.
She called on authorities to revisit the concession contract with MIDI and renegotiate terms to return the land to the public. “Let’s head back to the negotiating table and get as much as we can,” she urged.
Meanwhile, Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech welcomed the petition’s aims but emphasised the need to respect existing contractual obligations.
Grech described the vision of a national park as a “beautiful dream” but said commitments made under the original agreement must be honoured.
Borg Bonello is not the only PN MP to support the petition. Albert Buttigieg, Rebekah Borg, Graham Bencini, Claudette Buttigieg, and Ivan Bartolo have also endorsed the campaign.
What do you think?
